" HARVEST HOME." 

The sons and the daughters of Zion have come 
To thank the dear Father for this Sabbath Home, 
For all that the years of His bounty have given. 
For all in reserve for the meetmg of heaven. 

And in their white vestments, on each golden stair. 
The sainted are coming this service to share. 
Their harps strike the note of our jubilee song. 
Their voices the anthem of praise will prolong. 

We gather the seeds of the dew of the morn, 

Of noontide, of twilight, of days that are gone.

As we bring in the sheaves to this sweet Harvest Home.

INTRODUCTION. 

Every new settlement is the overflow of some place 
not far away. Newark and Elizabeth flowed out from 
Jersey City and Hackensack. Many in this vicinity 
went from Newark and its surroundings. That there 
was a church here before 1765 is evident from a deed 
bearing date vSept. 5, 1765, from James Parker to the 
Trustees of the Presbyterian Church, Levi Lewis, 
Daniel Cary, James King and Benjamin Clark for the 
consideration of 5 shillings. 

A copy of this deed is as follows : Beginning at a 
stake on the north-east side of the road, distant ten 
chains and twenty-nine links in a south-easterly direc- 
tion from the most southerly corner of Job C. Throck- 
morton's house and runs thenee — 

I St. North, 45 degrees east, 4 chains to a stake. 

2d. vSoiith, 45 degrees east, 2 chains 50 links to a 
stake. 

3d. Soiith, 45 degrees wxst, 4 chains to a stake on the 
side of the road. 

4th. North, 45 degrees west, 2 chains 50 links to the 
place of beginning. 

Containing 1% acres, and is bounded on the S. W. by 
road, and on the N. W., N. E. and 8. E. by lands of 
said James Parker. 

In 176S the Church at Succasunna joined the Church 
at Chester in a call to the Rev. Wm. Woodhuli. 

(3f the above named committee the following were 
Elders at that date : Eliphalet Lewis, Elisha Drake, 
Jeremiah Rogers. 

The next record of Eldership is December, 181 7. 
They were Ebenezer Coe and Hiram Condit in the 
ministry of Rev. Jacob Green. September, 181 8, Caleb

November 27, 1892, Mr. T. F. King, Mr. H. F. Meeker 
and Mr. Jonas W. Hulse were chosen Elders. 

The record of these years called for a grateful review. 
Printed invitations were sent to all who were, or had 
been, associated in the history of the church, and the 
responses gave very many items of information and 
interest, a few of which may be gleaned from the after- 
noon and evening exercises of the anniversary. 

There is also given as complete an account of all the 
ministers as could be gathered, and a copy of the me- 
morials to our sainted dead who lie in God's Acre 
around this historic church. 1 1 has been a labor of love, 
and as such is submitted to a parish that has endeared 
itself by more than thirty years of uninterrupted fellow- 
ship and sympathy in every good word and work. 
Lovingly your pastor, 

E. W. STODDARD.

HISTORICAL SERMON 

O71 the occasion of the One Hundred and Thirth-Ninth 

Anniversary of the Snccasunna, New Jersey 

Presbyterian Church. 



BY REV. E. W. STODDARD, D. D. 



Isa. 44:7-8 — "Thus saith the Lord, the King of Israel,, 
and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts. I appointed the 
ancient people, and the things th^t are coming and 
shall come." 

History is the record of God's dealings with men. 
The history of a nation or of a church is a record of 
what the Lord has done for them. We review one 
hundred and thirty-nine years of providential guidings 
and blessings. Commencing with the years of the hon- 
ored fathers and tracing the line of mercies up to this 
day we render thanks unto the Lord who appointed the 
ancient people and the things that are coming and shall 
come. It is an inspiration at certain periods to look 
backward. 

We then behold the fathers and mothers who by 
patient toil have waited upon the seed sowing and 
culture which rears the generations, who watch the 
heroes, who in little things lay the foundations of all 
future greatness. J. G. Holland says : 



4^ Auiiiversarj Exercises. 

"We rise by the things that are under feet 

By what we have mastered of good and gain ; 

By the pride deposed and the passion slain, 

And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet." 

No church has lived one hundred years that has not 
such heroic characters, both men and women, and no 
church will live one hundred years to come that is not 
rising by things that are under feet. The world, the 
flesh and the devil are under feet in the things that are 
coming and shall come. We are to-day looking back- 
ward upon the heroic characters of this church. 

The Succasunna Presbyterian Church is one of the 
oldest in the county — about 1755 — the church at Mor- 
ristown being about twenty years older— 1735 — and 
that of Hanover, about thirty-five years older. The 
deed of this church property was executed in 1756 by 
James Parker, one of the West Jersey proprietors. This 
deed, for the sum of five shillings, conveys one acre for 
a church and burial ground to Levi Lewis, Daniel Gary 
and others. The first church building must have been 
erected about 1760. It is said that Levi Lewis owned 
a saw mill at Combs Hollow where he sawed the tim- 
ber for the church. This first church building had 
only the floor finished and plain seats, no plastered 
walls and no ceiling. The swallows twittered from the 
rafters even while the people worshipped, nor were 
they disturbed by the use of the church for bairack 
and hospital purposes, when the larger cannon, some 
of which required three yoke of oxen to draw them, 
were ranged and sheltered outside the buildings and 
the munitions in the church. They were trophies from 
the capture of Gen. Burgoyne, near Saratoga, N. Y. 
When the new Centennial bell for Independence Hall, 
Philadelphia, was to be cast the United States govern- 
ment contributed one of these cannon for bell metal. 
When the smallpox raged in the army this church and

that at Hanover were used as hospitals and this old 
graveyard has many nameless graves. 

On January 28th, 1818, in the ministry of Rev. Jacob 
Green the congregation resolved to repair the meeting 
house, put on new covering, put in new windows and 
new timbers and lath and plaster. This house, which 
was nearly square, 35x40 feet, with its pulpit on the 
side, accommodated the people until January ist, 1853, 
when in the ministry of Rev. Josiah Fisher the parish 
resolved to build a new church. The last day of ser- 
vice in the old church of nearly one hundred years was 
held on the first Sabbath of May, 1853. The Rev. Dr. 
Samuel Fisher, the father-in-law of Pastor Fisher, 
preached in the morning from the text, " Keep your- 
selves in the love of God." The Rev. Josiah Fisher 
preached in the evening. The old church was taken 
down and a new one erected on its .ite. There may be 
those present who helped to take down the old timbers 
and set them in the new house. The corner stone of 
the new church building was laid May 26th, 1853. A 
brief history of the church, the names of its officers 
and members at that time, certain newspapers, and a 
bullet found in removing the old building, bearing date 
in etching July 4th, 1776, and other relics were placed 
in the corner stone. The new house was dedicated 
October nth, 1853. At this point it maybe interesting 
to mention that the first service held in this church was 
the funeral of the Hon. Mahlon Dickerson, died Oct. 
5th, 1853, service Oct. 8th, 1853. He had been the 
largest contributor to the building fund. 

In August, 1872, it was resolved to enlarge the church 
by adding twelve feet to its length and a pulpit recess 
14x7. The church was re-occupied January, 1873. 

The records of the church from its organization to 
1817 have been lost. 

The recorded membership at that time, 181 7, was 35. 



6 AiDiiversa?-}' Exercises. 

From that date to this over 600 have been added. The 
present membership is 174. 

The first pastor known to have been settled over this 
church was Rev. Wm. Woodhull, who graduated from 
the College of New Jersey in 1764 and belonged to the 
Presbytery of New York. The call bears date Sept. 
I St, 1768, and contains the signatures of Daniel Gary, 
Levi Lewis, Jacob Drake, Jeremiah Rogers, Eliphalet 
Lewis, Benjamin Clark and Elisha Drake. 

Succasunna and Chester pledged the Presbytery of 
New York, for the encouragement of the said Rev. 
Wm. Woodhull, 40 pounds, the use of the parsonage 
and his firewood. So easily were the ministers of a 
hundred years ago encouraged and freed from worldly 
care. Rev. Ebenezer Bradford was among the first of 
the supplies for the pulpit. Rev. Lemuel Fordham 
received a unanimous call in 1785, and served the two 
churches at Chester and Succasunna for 30 years, until 
1815. Chester and Succasunna worked together about 
50 years. In 1816 Rev. Jacob Green became pastor 
and served four years and nine months. Then in May, 
1822, Rev. Enos A. Osborne supplied the pulpit for six 
months. Rev. Peter Kanouse, January, 1823, was pas- 
tor five years and six months. From July, 1828, Rev. 
E. Hooper, supplied a few Sabbaths. From Ji^ne 8th, 
1829, Rev. Enos A. Osborne was pastor during four and 
a half years. 

From April 26th, 1834, to April, 1836, Rev. Jones, of 
Chester, Woodbury, George Pierson, E. R. Fairchild 
and Edward Allen supplied the church in the order 
named and for a short time each. April 17th, 183b, 
Rev. Joseph Moore was pastor two and a half years. 
Stanhope was then supplied by Rev. Moore. On 
January i8th, 1838, eighteen members were received at 
Stanhope. December 3d, 1838, Rev. David Frame 
gave one and a half years service. During his pastor- 



Historical Sernioi. 7 

ate the President of the United States, Martin Van 
Buren, spent a Sabbath with his friend, Mahlon Dick- 
erson, of Ferro Monte, and attended divine service in 
the old church. October 5th, 1840, Rev. D. E. Magie 
was called, ordained and installed November 17th, 1840, 
and was pastor three and three-fourth years. July 
28th, 1845, Rev. John Ward stated supply about two 
years. December 15th, 1848, Rev. J. K. Davis supplied 
about one year and a half. September, 1850, Rev. 
Josiah Fisher called to be pastor for thirteen years and 
supplied the church six months longer, bringing the 
date May, 1864, when your present pastor entered upon 
the first of his thirty-one years, which in itself contains 
the history of a generation. 

Parallel with the interest of a church in its pastors is 
its interest in its eldership, of which this church has 
had man)^ wise, true, noble, faithful men, who are stars 
in its crown of rejoicing. In 1S17 the elders were 
Ebenezer Coe and Hiram Condict. In September, 1 8 1 8, 
Caleb Jennings, Samuel King and Abraham Cory were 
chosen, and October 25th were ordained. July 1823, 
Mr. Absalom Woodruff, Daniel Dalrymple and Calvin 
Thompson were chosen elders, and September 5th the 
last two were ordained. Mr. Absalom Woodruff de- 
clined b_v reason of health. June 14th, 1835, Daniel 
Cary, Silas Riggs and Wm. B. Lefevre were chosen 
and were ordained same day. Mr. Cary declined. 
January 29th, 1837, Stephen F. Fordham, Silas Byram 
and Henry Conklin were chosen elders and ordained. 
Mr. Fordham had been elder in Chester . May 2d, 1841^ 
Samuel McCord, Martin S. Moore and Isaac W. Crarte 
were elected and ordained elders. January 2d, 1846, 
Lemuel F. Corwin and Lewis Meeker were chosen and 
■ordained. October 8th, 1848, Mr. Geo. W. Packard and 
Albert R. Riggs were chosen and Nov. 19th ordained, 
Rev. Williamson officiating. About March, 1S64, Joshua

G. Corwin and Josiah Meeker were chosen and ordained 
elders, Rev. J. Fisher officiating. May 6th, 1874, Mr. 
Silas H. Hopkins was chosen and ordained elder. Dec. 
nth, 1892, Theodore F. King, Henry F. Meeker and 
Jonas W. Hulse were chosen elders, and the last two 
•ordained December i8th, 1892. Most of these elders 
served the church to end of life. Two, L. F. Corwin, 
March 6th, and S. H. Hopkins, April 29th, were so re- 
cently called to higher service. Every year some of the 
membership also hear the call to join the church of the 
first-born in heaven. Only fourteen remain who were 
members thirty-one years ago. The Master says, work 
for the night cometh when no man can work. A his- 
torical poem will give us incidents and teachings: 





HISTORICAL POEM 

Commemorative of the One Hundred and Thirty-Ninth 

An7m'ersary of the Suecasunna, Nezu Jersey 

Presbyterian L luircJi. 



BY MRS. E. A. STdDDARD. 



Our Father's God, whose loving care appears 

On every line of this long scroll of years, 

As we unroll with grateful hearts to-day 

We would acknowledge Thee in all the way. 

Upon the cloud as on the wall of flame 

We trace, with those of old, Thy sacred name, 

Across the desert, at the restful fount, 

Within the valley or upon the mount, 

As Thou hast gone before in all the time 

We trace the years, one hundred and thirty-nine. 

To-day it is our pride and our delight 
To follow all along the trail of light 
That passed so often by the clefted rock, 
As loving pastors led the little flock. 

The name of Woodhull is a worthy name 

To lead the list upon this roll of fame; 

The Rev. Bradford serves as a supply, 

Then wisdom sought is given them from on high. 

And Pastor Lemuel Fordham comes to bless 



lo Anniversary Exercises. 

With thirty years of loving faithfulness, 

A fruitful and a happy pastorate, 

That saw the babes attain to man's estate. 

Then follows Jacob Green, in whose four years 

And good nine months a change of form appears 

In the old meeting house, upon whose eaves 

The swallows built their nests of twigs and leaves. 

And while the congregation sang their hymns 

The birds responded with their twitterings. 

Inviting also to the open door, 

And to the service on that hallowed floor. 

Six months served Osborne, then Kanouse was given 
Five years of service by the grace of Heaven. 
For a few Sabbaths Hooper was supply. 
Then Osborne came again and this dear tie 
Held heart and hand four years and six months more, 
Then came supplies who for the two years bore 
The names of Jones, Woodbury, Pierson, then 
Fairchild and Allen, true and noble men. 

The vShepherd's crook passed on to Joseph Moore, 

Who for two years six months the symbol bore. 

Then churchly records give to us the name 

For one year and six months of David Frame. 

One Sabbath morning as the record states 

The President of these United States, 

Martin Van Buren, with his honored host. 

Our Mahlon Dickerson, were at their post 

In the old meeting house to worship God, 

And listen to the preaching of the Word, 

From ist Corinthians, three, twelve, thirteen, 

A rich discourse from which they all could glean. 

And then another prince of royal line, 

Daniel Magie, well versed in things divine. 

For three years and three-fourths he gave "the Word," 

And for two years we were supplied by Ward, 



Historical Poem. 

And then by Davis one j-ear six months more, 

And Fisher, the beloved, half a score 

And three, meanwhile in ancient poplar shade 

The corner stone of the new church was laid. 

May twenty-six of eighteen fifty-three, 

The pride and joy of his long ministry. 

His name engraven on the marble urn. 

His name engraven on the heart and home, 

With those who also served, the good, the blest. 

The crowned victors, entered into rest. 

Our Albert Riggs of blessed memory. 

Whose twenty years of loving ministry 

In Sabbath school is still a treasure store, 

Whose Eldership of thirty years and more 

Has left an imprint on all coming time. 

For Christlike living makes our lives sublime. 

And almost at his side a comrade lies. 
Our Fordham Corwin, patient, tender, wise, 
In each department of the service true. 
Delighting in the work he found to do, 
And full of faith in every promised word 
While waiting long the message of his Lord. 
And Elder Hopkins, who three weeks ago 
So large a place left vacant here below. 

They gather thus the cloud of witnesses 
From all our ranks and years of usefulness. 
The Father's rest, in God's own acre near. 
Their virtues in their children reappear; 

Our Hiram Hulse, the genial, tender, true. 
Whose noble sons a noble life renew. 
Our Goes, our Gorys, our Dalrymple too. 
Our Garys and our Byrams staunch and true, 
Our Fordham, our LeFevre, our McGord, 
The Elders in this ancient church of God. 



12 Anniversary Exercises. 

Our Meekers, and our Condict, and our Kings, 
And all the worthy host that memory brings. 

In honored names and in the Christian graces 
Thus borne by those who rise to take their places, 
Who wear the mantles and adorn the name, 
That found in serving its immortal fame. 

Our sons and daughters have been scattered wide 

Across the continents across the tide. 

On Persian soil and on the Western fields 

To gather home at last with golden sheaves. 

Our sons and daughters on the other shore 

Who gather at the Father's open door. 

Or watch us from the height, inspire to-day 

To persevere along the homeward way. 

One heart, one aim, in pastor and in flock, 

To feed in pastures by the clefted rock. 

As thirty years and one we would review, 
Our pledges to each other we renew, 
As when in eighteen hundred sixty-four 
The record first the name of Stoddard bore, 
To hold it thus these thirty years and one 
Until one hundred thirty-nine have gone, 
And we recall the labors and the word 
Of those who came as they were sent of God. 

Ten pastors and the nine supplies in all, 
And each save two, have heard the higher call. 
Have crossed the stream, and on the peaceful strand 
Have joined the flock of ovir Immanuel's land. 

In August eighteen hundred seventy-two. 
The church resolved to add a portion new, 
And build a pulpit recess, and to crown 
Oiir work, the Lord has added of His own. 
The pillars that in earthly temples rise. 
Are fashioned for the Temple in the skies ;

Enwrought perchance by sorrow's niinistry 
For blessed service in eternity. 

Three years ago another change was made, 

In charge of chosen men who felt repaid 

For time and thought and service, day and night. 

By added beanty, comfort, joy and light. 

Your pastor found some eighty members here. 
It has been given his ministry to cheer 
The dear rhree hundred and the fifty-eight 
The joy and comfort of his pastorate. 
And as the blessed seasons shall return 
He yearns to welcome others in your name, 
Until our households and our neighbors given 
We number all when we shall meet in Heaven. 
Your pastor of the thirty years and one 
Thus overlooks the work that has been done. 

As hand was joined to hand, the wedding chimes 
Have echoed the one hundred sixty times. 
To voice the sorrow of the stricken soul 
The funeral bell has often had to toll. 
Your pastor in these hours of sorrow given 
To speak four hundred times and thirty-seven. 

Your pastor has received your words of love 
When his beloved have been called above. 
Your pastor comforted on that sad day 
Nine years ago when Linnet passed awa}-. 
Your pastor strengthened by the mission band 
Who take up Linnet's work with heart and hand. 

And by the ladies' missionary zeal. 

Upon whose work the Lord has set His seal, 

The praying circle to whose faith is given 

To link this church with that which serves in Heaven. 

Your pastor looking to the boys' brigade 
To be in very truth the pastor's aid.

With one librarian for forty years. 

With much that comforts, stimulates and cheers, 

As we its noble record thus recall, 

Christian P^ndeavor entertwining all, 

Recruited by the Junior nursery 

For fruitful years in the next century. 

A faithful band of singers in the choir, 
A faithful band of hearers to inspire, 
A faithful band of trusted, tried trustees. 
To plan the wisest uses of the keys. 

An eldership united to conserve 
The interests that they are called to serve. 
A faithful band of workers here for God, 
And honored names to bear the name abroad. 

A record to inspire the present hour 
To do its best, to add new zeal and power. 
To make each year more useful than the last, 
Uplifting ever by its worthy past. 

Your pastor of the thirty years and one 
Can never feel his truest work is done 
Until the seal of God, His love attest. 
His benediction on each household rest, 
And in this year one hundred thirty-nine 
This church and people share the grace divine.

As introducing the following' ministers, the original 
call made to Rev. William Woodhull on the first day of 
September, 1768, is now given. 

This call is now in the records of the church, wearing 
a look of age but perfectly legible, and the names of 
the subscribing Elders and Trustees in their own hand- 
writing : 

To the Revd. Presbytery of New York : 

We, the Presbyterian congregation of Roxbury and 
Suckasunna have had some trial of William Woodhull 
preaching among us, and on the ist day of Sept., 1768, 
at a parish meeting regularly warned, met to call and 
settle him as a minister. 

We therefore offer this to our Revd. Presbytery as 
our call to Mr. Woodhull to be settled with us in the 
Gospel ministry, and desire you would for us apply to 
the Presbytery of Suffolk that Air. Woodhull may be 
dismissed from them for this purpose, and for his en- 
couragement we promise him forty pounds yearly, the

islature of independent New Jersey, which met at 
Princeton in August, 1776, also 1777; again at Perth 
Amboy, 1789. He was member of the Council at Bur- 
lington, 1790. He was appointed Judge of the Common 
Pleas in 1808, and was prominent in public affairs till 
his death, Oct. 24, 1824. After leaving the ministry 
Rev. Woodhull opened a Latin school in a log school 
house near his residence. One of his pupils was Mahlon 
Dickerson, who became Governor of New Jersey, also 
Secretary of the Navy under President Andrew Jackson- 
By his will, bearing date 1822, the Woodhull homestead 
was left to his grandson, Caleb Gilbert Woodhull, who 
is now a resident upon it in his 80th 3^ear. 

The period from 1756, when the deed was given to 
vSuccasunna, the churches of Roxbury (Chester) and 
Succasunna were supplied by the same minister till the 
close of Rev. Lemuel Fordham's labor, August, 181 5. 

n. Rev. Ebenezer Bradford supplied. The Presby- 
tery of New York, at request of Roxbury and Succa- 
sunna, ordained him June 20, 1775. He seemed to have 
taken work, as Rev. Woodhull was not able to do it.- 

in. In 1785 Rev. Lemuel Fordham received a unani- 
mous call and labored with these two churches about 
30 years, till 1815. His acceptable labor is indicated by 
its length, his economy by the purchase of a farm about 
one mile from the Pleasant Hill Church toward vSucca- 
sunna and now occupied by Mr. George Marsh. The 
house was a frame building, on the same site as the one 
now occupied by Mr. Marsh. The farm of Mr. Lewis 
McPeak was part of Mr. Fordham's farm. 

Rev. Lemuel Fordham was born on Long Island 
April 28, 1749. He died December, 1831, and was 
buried in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Chester, N. J. He 
married Sept. 3d, 1787, Ann Fairclo, daughter of Thos.

died there October, 1851. He married April 8, iSiy, at 
Morg-antown, West Va., Miss Mary Henderson, who 
was born Oct. 21, 1796. She survived her husband. 
They left no children. 

V. Rev. l^eter Kanouse was fourth pastor of this 
church. He was the son of Jacob Kanouse, who was • 
born in Wittemberg-, Germany, and Mary Pierre Kanouse 
a descendant of the Hugenots in the vSouth of France, 
and was born Aug. 20, 1784, in Rockaway Valley, Morris 
Co., N. J., about one mile northerly from the present 
city of Boonton. He died May 29, 1865, while pastor of 
the Presbyterian Church of Deckertown, Sussex Co., 
N. j..and was buried there. His early advantages for 
education were very limited. When Rev. Barnabas 
King came to Rockaway in 1806, and permanently in 
1808, he found Mr. Kanouse faithfully toiling in his 
blacksmith shop at Rockaway Valley. He was an earnest 
Christian, full of religious zeal, eloquent and attractive, 
eager for knowledge, and desiring an educaticm. Rev. 
King encouraged all these aspirations. After the death 
of his wife about 1816, and his children were in the 
care of his wife's relatives, he went to the Bloomfield 
Academy, then imder the care of Dr. Amzi Armstrong". 
His education, classical and theological, was under that 
great teacher. Mr. Kanouse was a man of great power 
in and out of the pulpit. His work in the Clove Church, 
Beemerville, and in his old age at Deckertown, attest 
this. The revivals at Wantage and other fields proved 
him to be a very remarkable minister and preacher. 
He was for a time in Newark, N. J., and Owego, N. Y. In 
person and manner he was noble and lovable. Rev. 
King led him into tlie ministr}-, and they were ever 
bosom friends. His residence which he built in vSuc- 
casunna is still standing and is one of the choice loca- 
tions in the village. He was ordained and installed at 
Succasunna Jan, 22^ 1^23. His labor began there in

the Slimmer of 1822; dismissed June, 1828. The fruit 
of his labor was abundant. More than fifty were added 
to the church m the five and one-half years' pastorate. 
His wife, Mary W., united with the church at vSucca- 
sunna in August, 1824. He was thrice married; first 
to Mary Osborn, of Rockaway Valley, who died leaving 
four sons ; second, to Mary Wolverton Bassett, October 
19, 1822, and his children, who grew to adult age — 
Elizabeth, Theodore, Ann Maria and Harriet. By his 
third marriage with Amanda DeCamp he had a son 
(Charles A. Kanouse), who, with much of his father's 
spirit, entered the ministry at an early age, and after 
sixteen years of devoted work in the ministry, died 
in Princeton, Kentucky. 

Rev. Dr. J. F. Tuttle, associate pastor with Rev. King, 
of Rockaway, furnished this character sketch of Rev. 
Peter Kanouse.

in Bloomtield, N. J. He was twice married. By first 
wife three sons were born — Joseph, John and Thomas. 
By the second wife, Eliza Ayers, Enos Ayres, Annie, 
Eliza and a little daughter who was killed at play by 
the rolling- of a log. The family were then living at 
or near Irvington, N. J., on a farm. The mother, Sarah 
Ayers, died while the children were yet young. Enos 
A., a lad of about 14, desired to study. He went to 
Bloomfield, engaged to work for " Aunt Becky Ward " 
milking her cow and doing chores to pay his board 
while he attended the academy. Here he prepared for 
college. Bloomfield was called " the nursery for Prince- 
ton." After his college course he secured " Aunt 
Becky Ward " for his housekeeper and conducted the 
academy. His fondness for teaching never left him. 
In his pastorate at Newfoundland, and also here, he 
opened a school and associated his oldest daughter, 
Anna Maria, in the conduct of his classes. Not only 
were father and daughter deeply attached to each other 
in this work of teaching, but undying attachments 
sprang up between teachers and scholars. At the 
golden wedding of Rev. Osborne and his wife, held 
Dec 24, 1867, he gives this account of himself : " I was 
ordained at Frankford, Sussex Co., N. J., as an evan- 
gelist July, 1819, by the Presbytery of New Jersey, 
Rev. Dr. Samuel Hanson Cox officiating. I continued 
two years and a half in that town and organized the 
first Presbyterian Church of Frankford. I was installed 
the first pastor of the Presbyterian Church in New- 
foundland, Morris Co., N. J., in 1822. 1 served that 
church first and last sixteen years. The church at 
Berkshire Valley was also in this charge. In summer 
of 1822 I labored a short time at Succasunna Plain, and 
in June, 1829, accepted the pa.storate and held it four 
and a half years. During that time I organized the 
Presbyterian Church at Stanhope and served both

churches. I then returned to Newfoundland and com- 
pleted sixteen years with that church, Since about 
1846 I have labored in the city of Newark as City Mis- 
sionary, voluntary and employed, org'anizing vSunday 
schools, building mission chapels, preaching in the jail 
and in the almshouse, to the boatmen on the canal and 
river, visiting and assisting the families of want and 
sorrow and superintending the City Tract vSociety. 
Our sainted parents on both sides used to pray, ' May 
the world be better for our having lived in it.' So we 
have tried to make it. We rejoice over a happy family, 
six children and eighteen grandchildren are with us 
on this joyful occasion. Our work is nearly done. In 
the company of the Redeemed may we all join to praise 
God in heaven.'' At the death of Rev. O.sborne the 
Presbytery of Newark gathered, Feb. 26, 1879, ^o ^^" 
press their sense of the profound loss the church has 
suffered in the removal of this honored and faithful 
servant of God, and to express their sympathy with the 
bereaved children and the suffering and sorrowing 
poor, whom he used to comfort and help. 

There now follows a brief record of the ancestors of 
the Osborne family of this country : 

The Osborne family were seated in Hartlip, coimty 
Kent, England, in the early part of the 14th century. 
John Osborne, Esq., of Hartlip Place, born 1614, suc- 
ceeded his father in 1645. The coat-of-arms — 
azure — a saltier ermine between four pheons-or ; crest, 
a battle axe with a serpent winding around it ; motto. 
Truth and Liberty. Thomas Osborne, the ancestor of 
New Jersey families, probably sailed with his brother 
Richard from London Feb. 17, 1634. They were both 
in Hingham, Mass., 1635. Richard went with' the first 
Connecticut colony and settled in Windsor, 1637. He 
served in the Pequot war and land was granted him in 
Fairfield, Conn., whence he removed, 1653. Thomas

Osborne was also in the Pequot war and was with the 
company which landed at Ouinnopiac in March, 1638. 
In November they entered into an at^reement with 
Monagrein and his counsellors for the purchase of the 
lands. This was the foundation of the New Haven 
colony. On June 4, 1639, they met together in New- 
man's barn, and after solemn religious services drew 
up what they called a " fundamental agreement " for 
the regulation of the civil and religious affairs of the 
colony. They resolved " to adopt the law of ( jod until 
they should have time to make a better." Sixty-three 
persons signed this agreement. Among them was 
Thomas Osborne. In 1650 Thomas Osborne removed 
with his family to East Hampton, L. I. June 10, 1652, 
he "took up four acres on the Little Plain." His sons, 
Thomas, John, Jeremiah, Joseph and Stephen, also took 
up land at East Hampton about 1665. Jeremiah and 
Stephen joined a company and removed to Achter 
Crill, or Elizabeth Towne, N. J. August 15th, 1665, 
Jeremiah was witness to the payment of money to the 
Indians for the purchase of the town. He probably 
died soon after, as his name no longer appears. His 
brother vStephen had taken his place before 1668. wSte- 
phen Osborne had two house lots "lying and being in 
Elizabeth Town," upon the Kill creek containing 12 
acres 10 chains bounded W. by the creek, vS. and E. by 
the highways, and E. by the unsurveyed house lot- 
Stephen Osborne was a member of the first jury trial of 
which there is a record. May, 1671. His will, bearing- 
date July 12, 1694, names sons Jeremiah, Josiah and 
Joseph. Joseph Osborne, in his will, dated May 8, 
1.760, names Thomas, James, Enos and Jesse, and 
daughters Sarah, Abigail and Desire. Enos Osborne, 
son of Joseph, probably resided at or near Irvington, 
and was probably the father of Elias, who was born 
about 1730. His will, dated Feb. 20, 1807, proved Nov.

Henry, John, Jonathan, and daughters Phebe, wife of 

Meeker^ Nancy, wife of Harrison, Polly, Tre- 

phend, wife of Wilcox, Dorcas and Eunice. 

Henry Osborne, son of Elias and Mary Osborne, was 
born in 1763. He was a member of the first Church of 
Orange while it was known as the second Church of 
Newark. He was ruling elder from 1801 to 181 1, when 
he left the parish. He signed the call given to Rev. 
Asa Hillyer, D. D., Oct. 20, 1801. He was a prosper- 
ous farpier in or near Irvington, and his large wagon 
was every Sabbath carrying the old women — the moth- 
ers and their babies — to the service of worship at 
Orange. He was father of Rev. Enos Ayres Osborne, 
the pastor at Succasunna and the subject of this sketch-

to thy seed after thee.'' 

VIII. Supplies follow Rev. Osborne : 

Rev. Jones, of Chester, for a short period. 

IX. Rev. Woodbt;ry — Very little is known of him. 

X. Rev. Cieo. Pierson — He was born at Orange, Oct- 
16, 1805, and died in Florida, N. Y., Feb. 2, 1880. He 
graduated from Princeton College July, 1823, and after 
this he spent some months in Virginia, a tutor in a pri- 
vate family. He studied for the ministry, spending one 
year at Auburn, N. Y., Theological Seminary. The 
Presbytery of Newark, N. J., licensed him to preach on 
22d of April, 1828, and ordained him June 22, 1829. For 
a time he assisted his pastor, the venerable Asa Hillyer, 
D. D., of Orange. When the second Presbyterian 
Church of Orange was organized he became its pastor. 
He was released from this church in April, 1835, and 
on June 13, 1835, was supply of this church, (^n June

He married Oct. 4, 1823, Miss Matilda Steele, and re- 
moved to Western New York and began business, 
keeping a store. During several years he was impressed 
that he ought to preach the CTOspel. His early advan- 
tages for education were limited, but he began the 
stud}' of theology and was licensed and "ordained by 
the New Jersey Presbytery. In April, 1836, he began 
the supply of this Church and preached with great zeal 
and fervor. During that year the session considered 
the matter of intemperance and decided that total ab- 
stinence ought to mark the Christian profession. He 
labored here about two years and removed to West 
Milford, N. j. Failing health weakened him, and when 
not able to walk he was carried to his pulpit in order to 
speak trul}-, "as a dying man to dying men." During 
his labor here Stanhope was supplied by this church, 
and Jan. 11, 13 and 14, 1838, eighteen members were 
received there.

Maine. " The confession of faith was signed by eight 
men and the wives of six of them were voted into the 
privileges and under the watch of the church." From 
the foundation in 1772 to the coming of Rev. Jonathan 
Fisher in 1793, there were twelve different ministers 
who preached and labored with them. This Rev. Jon- 
athan Fisher, the father of Josiah Fisher, was the fifth 
generation from Anthony Fisher, who came over from 
England about 1640, and settled in Dedham, Mass. 
The grandfather of Josiah Fisher was a Lieutenant in 
the Revolutionary Army. He died in Morristown. N. 
J., March 16, 1777. 

Rev. Jonathan Fisher, of Blue Hill, the father of 
Josiah Fisher, was a most remarkable man. From his 
boyhood he was noted for his mechanical skill. When 
only 19 he taught school in his native town for three 
dollars a month, making bird cages in his leisure hours. 
He spent only a little more than $600 in the 7 years 
which he passed in Cambridge, during and after his 
connection with Harvard College. In 1796 he went to 
Blue Hill, Maine, where he served the church 41 years. 
During his whole mature life he read a chapter of the 
Bible in Hebrew for his private morning devotions, and 
read a chapter in French at family worship. His salary 
was only $280 a year. He owned his farm and on this 
he educated a family of 9 children, sending one son, 
Josiah, to college. He planned his sermons while he 
worked in the field, jotting down important thought on 
a slip of birch bark. He invented a stenographic sys- 
tem, compiled a Hebrew dictionary, only to find that a 
better one was already in print, painted sign boards 
with his own hand and set them up around the town 
that wayfarers might not lose their way, he was the 
builder of his own house, and the inventor of a machine 
to saw wood by wind power. He painted pictures, his 
own portrait now in Bangor Theological Seminary

being one, he ground his paints from material in his 
own pasture, he wrote books for young people making 
his own wood cuts. For forty years he went without 
an overcoat, even in the stormiest days, yet lived 
respected and beloved to the age of 79 years. His life 
was consecrated to his idea of usefulness ; frugality 
was a science with him and the good of the community 
his main object. The stamp of his piety and individ- 
uality aided greatly in making an intelligent and intel- 
lectual community. From such environment came the 
honored Pastor Josiah Fisher. He graduated from 
Bowdoin College, Maine, Sept. 3, 1822, and from the 
Theological Seminary at Andover, Mass., Sept. 28, 1831. 
He was licensed by the " Suffolk Association" of Bos- 
ton, April 26, 1831. He married Oct. 2, 1832, Elizabeth 
Davenport Fisher, born at Wilton, Conn., May 23, 1806. 
She was the daughter of his uncle, Rev. Samitel Fisher, 
D. D., of Paterson, N. J., the first Moderator of the New 
vSchool General Assembly in 1838. He was born in 
Sunderland, Mass, June 30, 1777, and died December 
27, 1856, in the room built for him in the new parson- 
age at Succasunna. He was buried at Paterson, N. J. 
Elizabeth Davenport Fisher died at Succasunna Oct. 
2/, I 71, and was buried there. A granite monument 
from Blue Hill, in Maine, marks the resting place of 
Rev. Josiah Fisher and his wife. They had several 
children ; only one, James Boorman, passed the age 
of infancy. He was born at Pa'erson, N. J., September 
7, 1833 ; died May 20, 1889, while pastor of Presby- 
terian Church at West Town, Orange Co., N. Y., and 
was buried there. He graduated at Philadelphia, Feb., 
1853, and was licensed to preach at Fredericksburg,

Rev. Josiah Fisher was ordained to the pastoral 
charge of the Congregational Church in Orono, Maine, 
March 15, 1832. He was at Clyde, N. Y., from 1836 to 
1 841. He was pastor of the Congregational Church at 
Heath, Mass., from 1842 to 1846. He was associate 
pa.stor with Rev. Samuel Fisher at Greenbush, N. Y.

tinued to reside at Succasunna until the death of his 
wife, Oct. 27, 187 1. From that date his home was with 
his son. Rev. J. B. Fisher, at Providence, Pa. In No- 
vember, 1S71, he took charge of the Presbyterian 
Church at Oliphant, Pa., which he continued to supply 
until January, 1875. He died June 17, 1875, at the res- 
idence of his son, and was buried at Succasunna, N. J. 
It was during his ministry at Succasunna in 1853, that 
the church building of about 1760, 35x35, was taken 
down, and the building, 35x50, was erected on the same 
site ; also the parsonage of the present was built under 
his leadership, and many days of labor by his own hand 
were given to it, for he was a skillfiil mechanic. All 
the subscriptions for both church and parsonage were 
secured by his personal solicitation.

He also supplied Berkshire Valley the gTeater part 
of his residence in this vicinity. 

XVIII. Rev. E. W. Stoddard began his ministry in 
Succasunna May i , 1 864 ; received his call to the pastorate 
June, 1864, and was installed June 30, 1865, by the Pres- 
bytery of Rockaway. The years of ministerial life have 
been as follows : Nov., 1852 — Nov., 1855 were passed in 
Hawley, Pa.; Nov., 1855 — May, i860, in Amenia, N. Y.; 
May. 1 860-May, 1 864, in Angelica, N. Y. ; May, 1 864, to this 
date, 1895, at wSuccasunna, N. J. In this period of nearly 
thirty-two years 359 members have been added to the 
church. In 1873 twelve feet and a pulpit recess 14x7 
were added to the church building-, increasing the seat- 
ing capacity 40 per cent. His ancestry were Eng- 
lish — in Nottingham — seven miles from London Bridge, 
from 1490 to 1765. Of this family Anthony Stoddard, of 
London, emigrated and settled in Boston, 1639. He was 
a linen merchant. Thirteen children were born there. 
A genealogy of Anthony Stoddard's three oldest child- 
ren, Solomon, Samson and Simeon, gathered by E. W. 
S., and partly covering the years 1639-1873, contains 
twenty thousand names of these descendants. 

Solomon, born Oct. 4, 1643 ; died Feb 11, 1729, was a 
noted minister in Northampton, Mass. His daughter 
Esther, born June 2, 1672, married Nov. 6, 1694, Rev, 
Timothy Edwards, of East Windsor, Conn. They had 
eleven children, ten daughters and one son — Jonathan 
Edwards- — who was born Oct. 5, 1703, and died March 
22, 1758. He was famous for his preaching and theo- 
logical writings. He became President of Princeton 
College one month before his death. His burial was 
among the Presidents in the cemeterv at Princeton, 
N. J. ^ 

The seventh child of Rev. Solomon Stoddard was 
Anthony, born Aug. 9. 1678; died Sept. 6, 1760. He 
graduated at Harvard College, 1697. He settled in the 



Historical and Genealogical Notes. 31 

ministry at Woodbury, Litchfield Co., Conn., where he 
continued sixty years. His predecessor was there fifty 
years, his successor forty, g-iving- that town three min- 
isters in one hundred and fifty years. The pastor of 
this church is four generations later — a period of one 
hundred and forty-two years. His father was John 
vStoddard, born at Watertown, Conn., July 15, 1794 ; 
died Jan. 20, 1855. His mother was Merab Parker, 
born at Cheshire, Conn., Sept, 3, 1796 ; died March 29,

Elijah Woodward Stoddard was born April 23, 1820, at 
Coventryville, Chenango Co., N. Y. Twenty-one years 
were spent on the farm. At thirteen years of age he be- 
came a Christian and united with the Church. His chosen 
life work, a teacher, and he began at 19. Three months 
district school in winter was the help in education of 
those days. At the age of twenty-three he decided to 
prepare for college. The summers of 1844-5 were spent 
at Norwich and Oxford Academies, N.Y., the winters in 
teaching-. On the first Monday in Sept., 1845, he started 
for Amherst College by the most rapid conveyance — a 
four horse stage coach one hundred and fifty miles and 
railroad eight}' miles. Four years passed and the class 
of thirty-two members graduated in 1849, eig^ht became 
ministers — one of them, Julius H. Seelye, became Pres- 
ident of Amherst College in 1876. Another was Prof. 
William J. Rolfe, of Shakesperian fame : and still 
another Prof. Edward Hitchcock, of Amherst Col- 
lege. Three years were spent in Union Theological 
Seminary ; licensed and ordained by Third Presbytery 
of New York in 1852. The leisure hours in College and 
in the Seminary were spent in some useful service or 
in teaching. July 16, 1852, married Miss Eliza West 
Concklin, daughter of Jonas W. and Eli/.a West Concklin, 
who was born in N. Y. City, April 26, 1829 ; died Oct. 23, 
1874. in Succasunna, N. J. One son, George Henry,

born in Hawley, Wayne Co., Pa., June 7, 1853 ; died 
July 30, 1853 ; mother and son buried in Oak Hill Cem- 
etery, Nyack, N. Y., in family plot of Jonas W. Conck- 
lin. 

Nov. 28, 1877, married Mrs. Eliza A. Stoddard, born 
June 15, 1838, in New York city, the daughter of Geo. 
W. and Eliza Piatt, and widow of Prof. John F. Stod- 
dard, the mathematician. The daug-hter of Prof. J. F. 
and Mrs. E. A. Stoddard, Eliza Piatt Stoddard, born 
July 21, 1869, died ]\lay 19, 1886, became a member of the 
household at the Succasunna parsonage at eight years 
of age, and the eight years of her stay that were added 
developed a bright, intellectual, and beautiful Christian 
character. The Memorial Chapel standing near the 
Presbyterian Church, erected by Mrs. E. A. Stoddard in 
1887, is her most fitting monument. The fiowers 
placed b}' loving hands on the little mound in God's 
Acre, mark her resting place. So long as this Mem- 
orial Cha])cl can do service in the worship of God, 
it will emphasize her words, " You need Christ and 
Christ needs vou to work for Him." " I want to do real 
work for Christ." 




GLEANINGS 

From tlic Aficnwon and Evening of the Anniversary 
May ig, i^'gS- 



At 2-30 p. M., after a little memorial service in the 
chapel to mark the ninth anniversary of Linnet's going 
away, the company went in procession to her resting 
place, which was bordered and covered with the floral 
tributes of the dear young people. At 3 o'clock the 
service was resumed in the church. It was led by J. W. 
Hulse, the youngest member of the present session. 

Mr. E. J. Ross, of Dover, made the first address. We 
regret that one brief portion only can be given. He 
said: " That which most impresses me is the age of this 
church. I would have said it is about 80 years. When 
I see an aged church this comes to me, what an oppor- 
tunity for good has come to that church. When I see 
an aged minister, I say what a blessing he must have 
been for so many years holding' up the glorious Gospel. 
He is showing them the best way of living. An aged 
friend of mine was specially social with his children 
and an earnest Christian. After he was gone I said to 
one of the children, ' How do vou get on without vour 



34 (JleaJiiuLis. 

father ?' The answer came, ' We cannot help getting 
on. When any plan is before lis we sit down together 
and ask, How would father wish us to do ?" It is the 
wisdom of the aged granted to the younger, the wisdom 
of the fathers granted to the children. So it is with 
this grand old church. Pastors have come, congrega- 
tions have come and gone, but the word of the Lord 
abideth forever. The Church of this day is living on 
the fruits of the forefathers, and this Church is to live 
and bring forth fruit in old age." 

Dr. I. W. Condit, of Dover, was the second speaker. 
He said : " This is the place of my birth. I began 
churchgoing here at about four years, and while I lived 
with my father we always attended church on the wSab- 
bath. The first Sabbath school I recollected was or- 
ganized by Rev. Jacob Green, and I think he baptized 
me. Sabbath school was held only in Summer months. 
We learned verses from the Bible and recited them. 
My brother received a Bible as a reward, w^hich I well 
remember. 

In April, 1842, I came from school to spend the sum- 
mer. At the organizing of the school I was requested 
to act as Superintendent. The line of study was the 
Union Question Book and the Shorter Catechism. In 
October we had a review of the summer's work. I gave 
out forty-two Bibles to scholars who had committed 
the whole of it to memory and twenty-two Testaments 
to those who committed to memory a definite portion. 
I could name some of those "scholars, and one of them, 
Marcus Meeker, is now looking me in the face. 

In those days this congregation covered a great deal 
more ground than it does now. The people of Flanders 
and Ironia and Mt. Freedom, Mine Hill, Mill Brook, 
Berkshire Valley and Stanhope worshipped here. The 
street here was filled with horses and wagons, and I 
recall one yoke of oxen that used to come. 



(ilcaiiini^s. 35. 

' I remember the old church building- well, but not 
as it was first used. Then they had boxes and boards 
for temporary seats. A soundin«^ board was over the 
pulpit Then they laid a floor and put in square up- 
right pews with doors. Then the sounding board was 
removed, and one of the panels of that sounding board 
for a long time covered my mother's cream pot. 

" But the times change, and the buildings change, 
but this thing- does not change. The boy is the father 
of the man. Remember that, I want you to take in 
all that it means. If the boy is a good boy, if he is gov- 
erned by right motives, the man will be right. If the 
boy is a Christian the man will be a Christian. Now, 
what benefit has the Sabbath school been to me ? 
What has family instruction done for me ? I want to 
say to all these young people — they taught me to re- 
spect all that is true, just, proper and right." 

Mr. John McDougall, who is about eighty-four years 
old, next spoke : " When I look over this congregation 
I do not see one person as old as I am. I have known 
this church for years. I have seen much good work for 
Christ done here. One question is hard to answer, 
What of the next 139 years ? Who is going to take the 
places of all the people and workers who are passing 
awa}^. Of one thing I am satisfied — there is peace and 
joy and comfort in the love of Christ. For this world 
and the next He is the best friend we have. I notice 
this church is alive and active in the Sunday school. 
They have gathered the young people into the Sunday 
school and church. Let me tell you a little story. A 
boy about ten years old was converted and wanted to 
join the church. His father, thinking he was too 
young advised him to wait till he was older ; then if he 
held out he could join. Soon after his father told him 
to gather in the sheep and lambs, as there was going to 
be a storm. The weakest lamb of all was left out. 



36 Gleanings. 

His father questioned him about it. He said, " Father, 
let us wait a while. If the little thing holds out I will 
get it. If not, then let it go.' My belief is, take care 
of the lambs of the flock." 

Mr. J. C. Buck came next. " I have been a long time 
in this community. I have grown with these old men, 
and yet I feel about twenty-five years old. I have had 
large opportunities in Sunda)- schools. I could sing and 
I have addressed Sunday schools in Sussex and Hun- 
terdon and Somerset and Morris counties. I was born 
in Chester and my first attendance was at the Congre- 
gational Church. My mother went there. I cannot 
tell you all the customs of those times. If the children 
had shoes they carried them till near the church or 
school house and then put thein on. The girls braided 
oat straw for everyday hats and rye straw for their 
Sunday hats. This I can say, we felt just as independ- 
ent as any young man in Succasunua at this day. One 
thing I want to say, and I want every boy and girl not 
to forget it : We were taught to reverence the Sabbath 
and the Bible, and to go to Church and Sunday school. 
C)ur next place was Mendham, then Peapack, then 
Morristown, then Succasunna, but I was m church and 
Sunday school in all of them, and I served as well as I 
could. It is about forty-two years since I came here. 
I had one of the best classes ; some are here to-day, 
some are out West, and one is a missionary sent out by 
this Church. I want to say this to the Church and 
Sunda}' school : the young are the bulwark of the 
Church and Sunday school. Honor the Sabbath and 
keep it holy. Honor your parents and attend Church 
and Sunday school. 

Mr. Ferdinand V. Wolfe speaks : "When I was a lit- 
tle boy my father lived near where William Corwin 
now lives. Miss Mary Ann Corwin, now Mrs. Byram, 
led me many times to church and Sunday school. 



. (ili-aniugs. 37 

Among the peculiarities of that place was the pulpit 
set up on stilts. Under the pulpit was the library. In 
the high seats with doors the boys and girls were in 
classes. We could not see out very much because of 
the high partitions and doors. But many of the bright- 
est and best days of my bo)'hood were here. We got 
impressions and teachings we have never forgotten. 
This was my home and when I come back here I come 
home and I am very glad. It is a great pleasure that 
I was invited to come here to-day. M3' hope is that 
the children of this day and this Sunday school will 
find the benefit that we found here many years ago. I 
had a good praying mother and she loved this church 
and Sunday school. Here too the Lord raised up for 
me a dear, sweet wife. The Lord has taken them both 
and by and by He will take me to join them." 

In the evening letters were read from the absent, 
and by a singular coincidence just as the message from 
Mrs. E. Durham was being read, in her distant home 
in Lebanon, Pa., she was passing away, thus linking the 
church below to the church above. After which Her- 
vey Cook, Esq., one of our own young men,, came back 
Avith gleanings from contemporaneous histor}' that 
showed the student and the scholar, as well as the man. 
The discourse was of profound interest and full of 
instruction. Next followed the address of Mr. Frank 
Merchant, which alluded to his early acquaintance with 
the pastor and recalled some very happy reminiscences. 

Mrs. McDowell, a daughter of Rev. E. A. Osborne, 
gave a word of greeting. Rev. Mr. Hampton, of the 
M. E. Church, brought congratulations and hoped that 
the excellent things that characterized this church 
might also characterize his own church. 

On Monday evening a reception was given by the 
pastor and the session assisted by the ladies. Miss 
Peddie, of Newark, standing on one side of Dr. Stod-

dard to represent our Linnet, and Mrs. ]\lcDowell, the 
daughter of a former pastor, and Miss Gary, an hon- 
ored teacher of the earlier days, on the other side. A 
picture of the first pastor. Rev. William Woodhull, hung- 
close behind and justly received a great deal of atten- 
tion and appreciation. After an hour of social inter- 
course and refreshments, the choir rendered some fine 
music, assisted by Mrs. Horton and Mrs. Dayton De- 
Camp. jMiss Belle Corwin gave a recitation on the 
" Blue and the Gray,'' and a prayer by Dr. Spencer, of 
the Ledge wood Baptist Church, closed and crowned the 
delightful evening. 

On Tuesday from 4 to 7 p. m. a reception was given 
to the vSunday school, Mission Band, Boys' Brigade and 
Junior Endeavor. Miss Louise Wiggms, who has been 
for more than twenty years the teacher of the infant 
class, received with the pastor. The guests were then 
entertained by music and a sight of the curious relics 
gathered on the platform of the church, including the 
foot stoves of the olden times and a bench from the 
Friend's meeting house, at least one hundred years 
old, a picture of Christ teaching in the temple that is 
five hundred years old, a drum that served at Bunker 
Hill in the Revolutionary war, pictures, vases, candle 
sticks, mortars, pictures worked in silk, ancient books 
and chairs, the study chair of Rev. Fordham and the 
brass kettle from which his tea was made. After a 
sight of these and other interesting and curious relics 
the company returned to the chapel and were served 
in the dining room. On the centre table was a large 
cake containing the names of all the pastors and the 
supplies of the one hundred and thirty-nine years with 
the dates 1756 and 1895 ^^^^^ Succastmna Presbyterian 
Church, the lettering in deep pink on a white icing. 
Old-time candle sticks gave the lights and from the old 
time memories came much to cheer. The Reunion and 



(J/(tt)ll>l<^S.

Review has been full of instruction and enjoyment, 
and we trust the Reunion and Review of the next one 
hundred and thirty-ninth year may be as profitable to 
those who shall take up our work in this honored 
church, while we look on from the heights above to see 
Zion going forth, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, 
and terrible as an armv with banners.

RECORD OF GRAVE STONES 

?;/ Cemetery at Siieeasitjina, A'./., in Centre Section in 
rear of CJinreh. 



[In that portion tying nearest the chui'ch on the right and rear, the 
burials have been so many and not marked, that the ground cannot now 
be ojjened without finding it has been opened before. The old church 
of about 1700 was used for a hospital about 1778 — soldiers were buried 
here. The stone house built by Lewis Cary about 1770, and still in use, 
was used as a small pox hospital.]
